Jack Sawyer Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 So I took off from Queenstown and headed over the Cascade mountains to NZNV, Invercargill. Real weather so I had a lot of clouds and rain but it was a terrific flight. Thanks to Jankees for the repaint. But wait! I wonder.... Ain't gonna make it under. Too low.

VH-KDK Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 Cheers Jack for the flight and for thinking of my colour preference too. Fantastic flight, weather not the best but it added to the glorious SI scenery. The town lanners are not tuned into you though are they. Fancy building a silly bridge like that!

Stillwater Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 Great pictures of an heroic flight, Jack. You were even clever enough to stop before redesigning your plane under the bridge!
